Technic Consult of Austria Upgrades with Elation Professional

Technic Consult of Austria has been a satisfied customer of Elation products for years, products like the industry staple Platinum Beam 5R and FS 15R Followspot, but the company says now the time was right to upgrade. The event technology providers recently welcomed to their inventory brand new Elation Artiste Picasso LED moving heads and multi-functional Paladin effects.

Technic Consult has been active in event technology for over 25 years. Located in southern Austria, near Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, the full-service provider manages lighting, sound, video and staging for live events of all kinds, including theatre, handling everything from planning to implementation. “We have been working with Elation products since 2013,” says Stefan Schwarzl, head of lighting at Technic Consult. “The reliability and quality of the equipment and personal support provided by Karl Lager have made our decision to invest in Elation much easier.”

Part of Elation’s theatrical-grade Artiste series, the Artiste Picasso houses a 620W white LED engine and advanced optical system for a powerful yet extremely uniform output of 23,000 lumens. It includes a wealth of design features along with a 4-blade framing system. Commenting on Technic Consult’s decision to add the Artiste Picasso to inventory, Schwarzl said, “We wanted a universal fixture that we could use as a spotlight for live concerts but also use in the theatre area. The combination of the high-quality spotlight with shutters was decisive for the purchase and the price: performance ratio is very good.”

Technic Consult also sought to replace some ageing wall washers and chose the multi-functional Paladin with zoom, an IP65 effect that can function as a wash light, blinder or strobe. “The performance and size of the Paladins were key in their choice but also the fact that they are outdoor rated. We look forward to using them for various ambient lighting situations on both indoor and outdoor live events,” said Schwarzl.
